Hey everybody!
Sorry this is so long in updating, I have some serious writers block on this and my other stories. I hope this chapter is satisfactory.
I have one thing: Is everybody just being nice when they review? I mean, I'm not that good of an author!
Anyways, ON WITH THE MADNESS!
As the So You Think You Can Dance theme song plays, the fans scream in anticipation to see their favorite feline host come out and introduce the story, but instead, everyone is surprised to see Marina, one of the judges, standing waving to everyone holding the microphone.
"Well!" the sky-blue hedgehog begins, "You might be wondering why Charge isn't at the mic for today's show, and that's 'cuz Charge and Static 101 is about to perform in a band battle against Flare and Pyro Punk! So without further ado, here's Static 101 with With Me by Sum 41!"
The crowd screams as the drums start up. After a few seconds, a spotlight comes down on Charge sitting on a stool, playing an acoustic guitar. After maybe eight seconds, he begins on the lyrics
I don't want this moment, to ever end,
Where everything's nothing, without you.
I'll wait here forever just to, to see you smile,
Cause it's true, I am nothing without you.
Through it all, I made my mistakes.
I stumble and fall,
But I mean these words.
I want you to know, with everything I won't let this go.
These words are my heart and soul,
I hold on to this moment you know.
Cause I'd bleed my heart out to show, that I won't let go.
Thoughts read are spoken, forever in doubt.
And pieces of memories fall to the ground.
I know what I did and so, I won't let this go.
Cause it's true, I am nothing without you.
All the streets, where I walked alone,
With nowhere to go.
Have come to an end.
I want you to know, with everything I won't let this go.
These words are my heart and soul,
I hold on to this moment you know.
Cause I'd bleed my heart out to show, that I won't let go.
In front of your eyes, it falls from the skies,
When you don't know what you're looking to find.
In front of your eyes, it falls from the skies,
When you just never know what you will find.
I don't want this moment to ever end.
Where everything's nothing without you.
I want you to know, with everything I won't let this go.
These words are my heart and soul,
I hold on to this moment you know.
Cause I'd bleed my heart out to show, that I won't let go.
In conclusion, a large display of green lights flash, and the stage is plunged into momentary darkness before lighting up again in brilliant white. The lead singer grabs the mic.
"Thank you!" Charge shouts into the microphone, "I hope you all enjoyed that, and now here's Pyro Punk with their song, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap! Try saying that with a mouthful of half-chewed pancakes."
After the laughs turn into cheers, Pyro Punk comes out to perform.

Yaaagh
The crowd cheers as the song ends, and the two bands come onstage and stand side by side. The contestants file out onto the back, and Shadow and Cory start a pushing fest.
The temporary host stands in the centre, "Okay viewers, we want you to choose the winner, and we will announce them in the next episode."
Flare suddenly leaned forward, "Y'all know it's gonna be us!"
"You wish!" Charge retorted, also leaning forward, "And I'll be taking back the mic now, Marina."
Marina looked at the real host, then back at the mic, before glaring at the camera like it was trying to steal her dear Shadowkun (insert fangirl screams here), who, by the way, while fighting Cory had managed to get Rouge pissed off enough to knock out both of the so-called Ultimate Life Forms.
The light blue hedgehog's eyes suddenly, but unsurprisingly, took on a look that one gets when you listen to those voices that tell you to run around town screaming your head off.
"YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE!" she shrieked, taking off and running off the stage.
Charge watched her go, shrugged, and pulled out another microphone, "I'd like to introduce my temporary co-host for today, Sky the Fox!"
A dark brown fox with two tails, one white with a black tip, the other the opposite, came out to the cheers that seem to greet anyone who walked onto the stage.
Hmm…the author would like to test that theory about cheering.
Chris Thorndyke suddenly walked onto the stage to loud boos and was pelted with rotten tomatoes, rusty anvils and lit dynamite.
Err…scratch that earlier theory, it's now everyone except Chris.
Anyways, back to the story.
Sky, waving out to the audience, suddenly noticed Tails and in a blink of an eye, was over hugging the intestines out of the kitsune.
"Hey Cuz!" she greeted him after maybe 30 seconds of liver-squishing bearhugging.
She finally released the bug-eyed Tails, who collapsed to the stage coughing and hacking.
Once she got to the centre stage, the host gave her a high-five and a mic.
Sky twirled randomly and pointed into the camera, "Next up, we have a special performance by…"
The Dark Star fox pulled out a list and read off the following names:
"Cory, JoAnne, Silver and Shadow singing I Gotta Feeling by The Black Eyed Peas!"
Three of the four owners of the names above jumped a few feet in the air in shock.
"WHAT?" Silver shouted, staying up in the air after he jumped.
"I HAVE TO SING WITH HIM?" Shadow hollered, pointing a finger at Cory, who had a strange grin on his face.
"WHO CHOSE THE FOUR OF US ANYWAYS?" JoAnne finished, with a dead-set WHEN-I-FIND-OUT-WHO-DID-THIS-THEY'RE-SWISS-CHEESE look on her face, cradling SweetPie in her arm.
No one spoke for the longest time, and the silence was worldwide in it's coverage, before the main host quietly stepped forward, "I did, and if you don't comply…" he trailed off, a devilish grin on his face.
He lifted a green arm and pointed, and thousands of Mobians sitting at home watching in their living rooms, their bedrooms or their Shadow shrine rooms, watched as the camera followed the gaze of everyone in the studio.
Where the host pointed, a massive gaping black hole had sprouted. The swirling grey void of nothingness was not what scared everybody though. It was the sign above the door that read in bold type:
GATEWAY TO THE WIGGLES WORLD!
"NO!" Shadow screamed, dropping to the floor, "ANYTHING BUT THOSE EVIL HAPPY PEOPLE AND THEIR MUSIC!"
Everyone stared at the Ultimate Life Form in the fetal position for a few seconds, before staring back at the black hole.
It was still there, and some could pick up the faintest notes of music from it. The evil "Wake Up Jeff" song faintly floated through the terrified heads of the contestants.
"Yeah, so if your not up for the most painful twenty minutes of your life…" Charge paused, but then shouted as loud as he could, "…DO AS I SAY!"
Unsurprisingly, the four were soon up singing quite badly, and got tossed in the portal regardless. Their screams of torture could be heard from those who stood too close to the portal.
Star suddenly jumped into the camera's view "Okay people, we've gotta get onto the dancing now, so here's Knuckles!"
Once the stage is finally clear of contestants, Knuckles comes out and dances robotically to Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto.
Leah: "That was the best robot I've ever seen someone do in my life! 9.9"
Marina (who has returned from places unknown): "Unbeatable. 10"
JoAnne: "(is currently tied to a chair, forced to be listening to evilly happy music, but in her absence a automatic 10 shall be included). 10"
As the echidna disappears offstage, the host mysteriously followed. Soon three muffled thumps were heard, then Knuckles started cursing in a more colorful way than you could imagine.
The host soon re-emerged, muttered something about he knew that robot dance was too good to be true, and was about to announce the next contestant when a sound like a thousand bees buzzing right next to a microphone blasted throughout the studio.
Once everyone had uncurled from the fetal position on the floor, the host announced that they would have to end the episode early, "But we'll be back next time, live from Planet XIIIVXI!"
"SEE YOU NEXT TIME!"
Okay, here's the deal: I can't think up a good chapter for OWOGOJ or Eleven Kids, One Cat.
I NEED HELP HERE!
If you have an idea for either of these chapters, PM me and I will try out your idea, but it takes me a while to word a chapter right, as I am very picky about my choice of words.
Also, as of July 3rd, I will be off to camp for a month. I'll be back by August, and will continue working on my fics in the usual fashion.
Signing off,
~CtC~
